IMPROVEMENT IN ICE-PICKS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0.159,273, dated February 2,1875; application filed August 17, 1874.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL LINDLEY, of Green Bay, Brown county, State of WISCOH- sin, have invented certain Improvements in Ice-Picks, of which the following is a specification:

The object of my invention is to provide an ice-pick so constructed as to break the ice into der, which forms the rest for the wooden handle.

In order to describe myinvention more fully I refer to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure I is a front view of an ice-pick embodying my invention, and Fig. II is a side View of the same.

A, B, and G are the steel plates, having teeth d and shanks 6,), and g. h and l are bolts or rivets, and k 70 are the tubes placed. between the plates. M is the wooden handle.

I am aware that Boynton and Keefe have Letters Patent No. 143,957, of October 28, 1873, for an ice-pick which provides for splitting a block of ice into slabs of uniform thickness. This I do not claim; but

I do claim An ice-pick formed of the plates A B 0, bolts h and l, and tubes 70 k, for cutting ice into pieces of uniform size and shape, all arranged and combined as and for the purpose described and shown.

SAMUEL LINDLEY.
